I am heartrbroken and sorry to report that Buttercup did not make it. She died Friday morning at 2:00AM. Her appointment was for 5:45PM. I could not bring myself to write about it until now. I still have so many unanswered questions, but I guess it doesn't matter much now. She either had a brain tumor or PDE. Both of which could not be confirmed. She lived exactly 1 month and 4 days after she had her first seizure. Before that she was perfectly healthy. I still find it hard to believe. She continued to eat up until a few of hours before she died. She became so weak and confused she could hardly get up. She wimpered a lot, sort of like someone was kicking her. She may have been in pain ( I HOPE NOT ), but I tried to comfort her as best I could. I didn't want to have to make the decision to put her down. I would have always wondered if she would have gotten better, if I gave her more time. Whatever she had, it took her down fast. I have another pug that is 9 yrs old, and she has health issues. I always thought I would loose her first, not Buttercup. I had her cremated and will pick her ashes up tomorrow. She was really special to me, and my heart is breaking. I got her 10 yrs ago about 6 months after my 15 yr old son was killed. She was the reason that I got out of bed everyday, and she helped me move on. Licking my tears as I cried and giving me lots of love. Doing things that made me laugh again. Is there any way of knowing if a PUG has PDE in his genetic's? Maybe some day I will get another one, but not for a while. I just want to cherish the memories that I have and mourn the loss of Buttercup. Thank You to everyone who prayed for her, and gave me advise. R.I.P MY SWEET LITTLE GIRL
